Chapter 220: Aftermath
"The Taiyuan royal family fell to Li Yuan, and Huoyi City was broken!" Yang Yu looked at the battle report in his hand and sighed in his heart.
The Great Sui Dynasty has been out of war for too long, although Yang Guang is still there, but the whole world is already in flames, people's hearts are fluctuating, and many careerists have begun to emerge.
"The Taiyuan royal family is known as 'king but not king', Taiyuan never participated in the rebellion, and has always been a person who secretly supports the rebellion and becomes a minister of the dragon!" Fang Xuanling sorted out the situation report.
Du Ruhui frowned and analyzed: "It stands to reason that the Wang family generally waits for the situation to become clear before choosing to take sides, and this time it is likely that Wang Zhe, the sister-in-law of the Wang family, kidnapped the entire Wang family according to his own actions." ”
"Taiyuan Wang's family!" Yang Yu's eyes were cold, "No matter what the reason, since he has already jumped out, don't think about retreating." ”
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, and couldn't help nodding, His Royal Highness the Acting King was really angry this time, Huo Yi's loss made Guanzhong's loss too great.
Not only did he lose a huge amount of material in Huoyi, but he also killed many soldiers in battle, and the pensions of these people alone were an astonishing amount of money.
Yang Yu turned his head and asked, "Where is Qu Tutong retreating now?" ”
"His Royal Highness! General Qu led an army of 30,000 plus 5,000 troops from Fort Jiahu, and had retreated to Jiangjun safely! This is General Qu's plea! Fang Xuanling handed over an excerpt.
Yang Yu took a look, Qu Tutong took all the blame for the failure on himself, and asked Yang Yu to punish the crime.
This is a common trick used by the military, knowing that the court will not punish it. It's just a formality.
"Commander Qu, that is, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers! Let him guard the city. Yang Yu suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Yes!" Fang Xuanling said.
"At the same time, grain and grass are allocated. Mobilize 30,000 troops to support General Qu! "Yang Yu has increased his blood capital, and he wants to make Daxing City's strength stronger and stronger.
Du Ruhui wrote it down.
Yang Yu pondered for a long time and ordered: "Let General Qu stabilize Jiangcheng for the time being, wait for the decisive battle to come, and if there is a good opportunity, you can attack decisively." ”
He was too jealous of Li Yuan before, and he had always made Huo Yi's plan to defend too conservative, and now that Qu Tutong and Li Yuan had a grudge, it was not a good idea for him to let go of Qu Tutong's hands and feet. Historically. Although Qu Tutong made a mistake in judgment, he did not lose against Li Yuan.
Yang Yu thought about it and was still not at ease, and added: "Let Yao Junsu immediately repair the east of the river, and the ships on both sides of the Yellow River will be cleared." The two sides of the strait have intensified their inspections. Once signs of the crossing of the river by the Don army were found. Report immediately. ”
Yang Yu thinks that for Li Yuan's father and son, it is impossible to be too careful.
After explaining, Yang Yu was slightly relieved. Plus the 30,000 troops that were being transferred over. Jiangcheng has gathered nearly 70,000 troops, and Qu Tutong is no matter how much water is left, and it can also ensure the safety of Jiangcheng.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui left, and Yang Yu sat on the throne and pondered.
This time, he must survive Li Yuan, and now Guanzhong is the foundation of the entire Sui Dynasty, in case Guanzhong is lost, then the entire Great Sui Dynasty will be over, just like in the previous life, Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong, Luoyang River became an isolated city, and the entire Great Sui Dynasty immediately fell apart.
This is also the reason why Yang Yu adopted a steady strategy, and the Great Sui Dynasty, which was disheartened, really couldn't stand the toss.
"Yang Yoo!" A childish child's voice came, and the little head stuck out.
As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that it was Izumo Princess Yang Ji'er, and he was the only one in the entire Daxing City who called Yang Yoo's name.
"Come in!" Yang Yu sat on the throne, and he exuded a sense of power in his power.
"Humph!" Yang Ji'er pursed her lips and walked in, ignoring Yang Yu's majesty.
"Sister-in-law Wang asked you to go back to the East Palace!" Yang Ji'er said that she wanted Yang Yu to go back to the East Palace, but she walked in.
The little head looked curiously, touched and touched, and muttered: "This is not unusual!" ”
Yang Yu looked at Yang Jier's delicate appearance, and her originally depressed mood improved.
"Let's go!" Yang Yu said.
He knew the reason why Concubine Wei came to call him, and he must have heard about the loss of Huo Yi.
Yang Ji'er turned around a few times, but didn't find any mystery in this place, and didn't understand why others were so in awe of this place, and came out dissatisfied.
East Palace!
"Mother!" Yang Yu saluted.
"Yu'er! Huo Yi ......," Concubine Wei shouted worriedly.
"Mother rest assured! It's just that Huoyi has been lost, and Qu Tutong's main force is still there, and now he has retreated to Jiangcheng and continues to block Li Yuan, and Guanzhong has no worries. Yang Yu said with relief.
Concubine Wei was slightly relieved. After all, Li Yuan is still far from Daxing City.
"Mother rest assured, this battle will be won in Daxing City, Li Yuan will be defeated, and the courtiers have set a strategy to win.
Concubine Wei nodded and said: "Then the mother is relieved, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, and if you encounter a problem, you must ask the ministers for more advice." ”
"I know Mother!" Yang Yoo's entourage replied.
In fact, the situation in the world, which one he understands clearly!
Yang Yu accompanied Concubine Wei and Yang Ji'er in the East Palace for a long time, and returned to the tense busyness.
Jiangcheng.
Qu Tutong sat in his seat with a gloomy face, and Sang Xianhe and Chen Shuda on both sides were silent.
Huo Yi's failure made Qu Tutong angry.
Not to mention the rebellion of the captain Wang Deng, even the Taishou of Linfen surrendered to Li Yuan, and Qu Tutong took great pains to bring these 35,000 soldiers back to Jiangcheng safely, and collected some remnants along the way, and there were about 40,000 troops.
I'm afraid that the 10,000 troops will be lost in Huoyi, not only killed in battle, but also surrendered.
"Taiyuan Wang's family!" Qu Tutong's eyes were cold.
The driving force behind all this is the Taiyuan Wang family, a huge thousand-year-old family, with a terrifying background.
But no matter how terrible the Taiyuan royal family is, Qu Tutong, who has a heavy army, is not afraid at all.
"Order all the troops, all officers above the rank of the team, as long as they are not the children of Guanzhong, will be repatriated to Daxing City." Qu Tutong said coldly.
"Yes!"
Chen Shuda, the general guard of Jiangjun, looked at Qu Tutong in surprise, most of his subordinates are from Jiangjun and Hedong, if he really follows this regulation, it is estimated that his subordinate generals will not be spared.
"Of course, General Chen's subordinates don't have to do this, but in order to ensure the safety of the families of these generals, it is better to place them in the stable Hedong, I don't know what General Chen wants?" Qu Tutong said with a hint of a smile.
Chen Shuda smiled bitterly, this is to take those family members as hostages!
Looking at Qu Tutong's cold eyes, Chen Shuda had no choice but to bow down and respond: "Yes!" ”
"What is the will of Daxing City now?"
"General Qiyu! His Royal Highness the Acting King transferred another 30,000 elite soldiers, as well as a large amount of materials from Hedong City. Sang Xianhe said.
Qu Tutong nodded, His Royal Highness the Acting King did not blame, this was within his expectations, 30,000 elite soldiers and a large amount of materials arrived, and he Qu Tutong will regain his strength again.
"Pass the order! Immediately speed up the repair of the city wall, the war between General Ben and Li Yuan is not over. ”
"Yes!" The generals responded. (To be continued......)
